ofthe charity
during the year
-Our main achievement
during the year was the completion
of the 2022
Passion Play performances
over the Easter weekend. As a free event,
we can't be sure ofthe audience size, however we estimate that more
than 5,000 individuals
came to witness
our portrayal
ofthe Easter story
over the course ofthe weekend.

costs were largely
in line with our budget, despite some
unexpected
late expenses.

collected were higher than
expected considering
the slightly
smaller post-Covid audiences.

in 2026,
due to be received
in late 2025.

donations as part
of the performances,
which amounted
to almost f700.We will continue to
invest
in this form ofdonation
for future events.

in total raised over E2,000.

from individual
donors over the year amounted
